Don’t be fooled by her vintage-looking matte green finish. She is an efficient, smooth-riding little speedster. She was too small for me when I bought her years ago, yet I was so taken by her green patina that I had her rebuilt with a new 38x17 single speed drivetrain, wheels and brakes. I’ve ridden her very little with the one notable outing being the time I met my (now) wife at a bar for the first time in 2009. I put a new Brooks saddle and cork grips on Edith a few years ago with the hopes my wife would ride it more. That plan didn’t work and Edith still sits unused, so it’s time for her to move on.
The seat tube height from bottom bracket center to the top of the top tube is 22”.
Approximate rider height range: 5’-4” to 5’-8”
Polished aluminum rims
Miche high flange track hubs
700x26c tires
